Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Online lectures through MyUni: The learning objectives, readings and content have been reviewed, adapted and presented in keeping with Level II courses. The online lectures will take the form of voiced over power points, Articulate presentations and LAMS
Articulate presentations – the School of Nursing has a licence for the Articulate e-learning authoring software program and has a number of staff that are expert in its use. The advantage to the student is the freedom to progress through content at their own pace while receiving in time support for their learning. This is particularly helpful for the nature of the content which will be available for revision across the semester. The School of Nursing has a purpose built e-learning room with dedicated PC access to training support software.
LAMS presentations for selected topics – LAMS (learning activity management system) provides a simple learning design tool that encourages student interaction and engagement with a diverse range of material. The visual interface allows the lecturer to author individual and group assignments. LAMS allow the student freedom to progress at their own pace and to easily review content they are uncertain of. LAMS offer lecturing staff a novel and innovative way to present content that often resists transition from text book to engagement. A number of school staff have used LAMS and more will be able to as the university increases IT support for this and other learning systems.
Tutorial (virtual classroom) – each week a drop in virtual tutorial session will be made available to students. Lecture staff will be available online to counsel students on any aspect of the course content or assessment. Wimba tools through MyUni offers a virtual classroom that can be used for tutorial sessions. The student capacity is unlimited and the instructor has a range of interactive tools available (e.g. hosting external websites) to stimulate engagement.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
It is expected that you will need to spend about 12 hours of study a week to successfully complete this course. This includes reading, completing activities, attendance at the optional workshops and listening to podcasts. Thus some weeks it will be more and others less. It is recommended that you plan your time commitment to the course at the beginning of the semester. Lectures will be available on MyUni as Podcasts or PowerPoint presentations and compulsory online classroom (OC) sessions. It is expected that you will listen to the lectures and if you have any queries contact me via email or phone. If you have difficulty accessing the lectures please contact the Student Support Officer.Learning Activities Summary

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Assessment Task Assessment Type Weighting Learning Outcome(s) being addressed Online Quiz Formative N/A 1-5 Wiki (Group) – Primary Health Summative 30% 1-6 Project Report Summative 70% 1-8 Assessment Detail
ASSESSMENT 1: Online Quiz (Formative)
Quiz-Students are required to complete an online quiz that will assess aspects of the course work and test their knowedge up to that point in time. Although formative this assessment is compulsory and requires a satisfactory attempt.
ASSESSMENT 2: Wiki (group)
Wiki (group) – primary health: working through a wiki, students will contribute to a group (maximum of 5 students) project on a primary health care topic selected from the course content. The advantage of the wiki online assignment is to clearly identify which member of the group submitted what aspects of the overall project. This will make the individual contribution of the group more transparent
ASSESSMENT 3: Project report
Project report – using the information provided through the group wiki exercise students will submit independent reports using a project report template provided.Submission
Unless otherwise indicated all submission of assignments is to be through the assignments portal of MyUni. TurnItin will be used to check student assignments. Students MUST keep an electronic copy of all assignments submitted.
Extensions are generally awarded for no more than 10 working days unless there are exceptional circumstances.
To apply for an Assessment Extension, a student must submit an application for extension form prior to the assessment deadline. You will find this on the School of Nursing Website or use the link provided here.

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.
The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
